Yeah - have had several "pro firefighters" scoff at the Kidde's. But, in

And they're cheap enough to have several.

Best extinguisher I ever had was a halon one. Even after it was
used, it wouldn't lose pressure, so you could still use it later, as
long as you hadn't emptied it, that is. Even the real re-fillable ones,
once you've used them, they'll lose the rest of their pressure in a few
days, making re-filling mandatory. But, once they're filled, no prob
about keeping pressure.

People think that professional soldiers think a lot about fighting, but
serious professional soldiers think a lot more about food and a warm
place to sleep, because these are two things that are generally hard to
get, whereas fighting tends to turn up all the time.
